Fella's, y'all went way off track here. If y'all want bad mouth lines of dogs, do so in private.
Hello Mike,
As a "customer" of David Thom's Kennels I am interested in what other "customers" responces are. While my purchase and experience with Thom's dogs have been positive I am sure that other peoples opinions could be a little different. I realize that ETHD was not set-up to be a bashing board, but it is a public forum. And as a public forum, it provides a platform (which was never possible in the past) for "customers" to share information. If sharing negative experiences are provided in a respectful and tactful manner, their contributions are just as helpful as the positive ones.
I would like to use ETHD as a platform to hear what other customers have to say. I would like the ability to cross reference my understanding from David that " of all the dogs he has placed, dogs have only come back once". Other customers ( such as myself) can have better confidence of returning a dog after knowing there have been more than one dog returned. Personally speaking, I paid what I considered "top dollar" ($800) for 2 puppys. I returned one of the puppys after a month because I did not feel she was worth the money I spent (this return policy was o e of the reasons I paid the higher than normal amount). Other people might share in my experience and gain confidence to return their dog as well.
I am very happy with the male dog I have from David. I am very impressed by my buddy Andy's young dog from David. I believe David's kennell operation and blood lines are first class. Mr. Thom is also a very fine business man. That all being my personal opinion, I believe this thread was started to inquire / share information of other people who are customers. I hope that contributions to this thread would be allowed to be both positive and/or negative (as long as they posted in a respectful manner).
